IS THE BODY only a host for the spirit?

Question

Where dose the spirit go after the body dies,and what happens?

Answer 1

When God created the man, God blessed him spirit and made his well-designed body with clay and water. Even today every one possesses three different things, body, spirit and self.

1. Body:-

God made the body a performing machine to act according to the demands of self. It eats, wears, drinks, smells, tastes, sees, hears, touches and uses the universe. This thing works as a base of needs and demands. Though it seems different from other animals but it is not different at all. Its design is different but its nature is actually the same.

2. Spirit:-

God created it as an acting power. It is a Commandment and Will of our Lord and we use it for a little time (the life span) in space. Since it totally belongs to God, so we are answerable of its use. It is a guiding-light and our conscious-energy. All the things around us including angels and demons may effect it through suggestions and as a result we may move in right or wrong direction. It is not God because nothing can effect God and determine God’s mood. God is Holy and the Creator of all the things, which we can name. Spirits are sometimes, God guided and sometimes, demon guided and only God guided spirits are pious-ones and demon guided spirits are all-in-all evil.

3. Self:-

Self is the real being, fully equipped with the power of decisions. Self is the real man or woman, a sort of guest in the house of spirit and body. Self is a third dimension of our existence. Spirit makes the body move and all acts happen according to the decisions made by the self.

Our life is a gesture of these three things in our existence and we are passing through time.

Our universe/cosmos is a living story book and our’s selves are it’s characters. Particles of the body of universe, are alphabets and things in it are words, in physical and metaphysical form the words of God. Cosmos is a spirit of the body of universe, which runs it and makes it meaningful.

The universe/cosmos is a book of God for our reading.

Above that Moral State is a law of God (Not God) over universe/cosmos___ to award the right and wrong___ done by the creatures.

Our’s selves are free beings to act freely. We may act according to the Commandments of God or we may follow our own way. Results of the both are predominantly different. Servants of God are blessed but followers of Demon are cursed. And both of the type of acts are being precisely recorded, on the most sensitive tape of cosmos and in the book of universe, for the ultimate judgement.

We own nothing but our free Selves, which are conscious-beings, belonging to the moral state. Spirits are immaterial things, belonging to the cosmos. And, Bodies are material things, belonging to the universe.

All attentions appear in our Selves and our acts are the expressions of our Selves. And our Selves are answerable to God for each and every act. If the acts are done according to the God’s Commandments, they are known as right and good deeds. And, if the acts are done according to the suggestions of Satan, then, they are known as wrong and evil deeds or sins. Good deeds lead us to prosperity and Heaven and evil deeds lead us to the doom and Hell.

Such a situation is under operation in the moral state.

Spirit and Body, the both are great gifts of our Lord blessed to our Self.

Now think yourself!

If I ask you, “From where have you got this body? Does it belong to you?

What will be your answer? If you say, “It belongs to me and I got it from this world”___ Then I shall ask you, “To whom you paid its price and for how much you purchased it?

You will start thinking and will positively understand what I wanted to let you know. You will realize that it is a gifted thing and your Creator has blessed it to you. It is nothing but a great, beautiful and precious gift of your Almighty Lord.

NOW

Ponder over this assumption. Suppose; you like someone and want to show your love to him or her. In such a situation, you will buy a thing and will give it to him or her as a gift as you know that through this way you can express your love. If he or she accepts it and gives honour to your gift and pays thanks; what will be your feelings? You will definitely feel a great joy and will become his or her friend. And, if he or she not only rejects your gift but also throws it down in the dust and smashes it or kicks it with his or her foot; what will be your feelings?

Now I hope, you can understand in a better way that when someone commits or attempts suicide, he or she smashes and ruins the gifts of his or her loving Lord, Therefore, the Lord does not like such an act and curses the suiciders. Anger of the Lord is expressed in the Law of banning suicide in all of the religions.

In fact, killing of one’s ownself is equal to the killing of someone else while every soul is a precious creation of the Lord. Such people, who commit suicide or kill others, are evildoers. Both are criminals, in the sight of our Lord and deserve punishment.

Purpose of life is the worship of the Lord alone. This life is nothing but a test of obedience to the Alone Lord.

Each and every thing is perishable of our present life. As compared to the eternal life, this life is a dream like reality and life in Heaven is not perishable but that is the real life.

In this worldly life, our death is with us on each and every step while the eternal life is without an end. Everyone will either rejoice due to good deeds or will face torture due to evil deeds forever.

Ram Chander Jee said, “Whosoever has taken birth, will face death”. He was right to say so because each and every Book of our Lord tells this truth in open words. It is repeatedly announced in all the Books that each and everyone will taste death and this universe will come to an end for another beginning.

Only the Creator of life and death, is forever.

Life with death, can never be considered as a real life. It is, of course, similar to real life. People of wisdom do understand its temporal nature. It looks like a child’s play but its not a child’s play. It is a mean of test, so one should remain sincere to the Lord and live and fight with patience for the eternal life constantly. One should serve his or her Lord whole-heartedly and establish his or her love for the Lord alone.

Death can come at anytime in this temporal life and when the moment of death reaches it, makes it finished. We leave each and everything and move to the destined destination, empty-handed and empty-minded. Nothing remains important and the death itself reveals the answers of all the questions, which we can not, perhaps, understand during the lifetime. It opens up the eyes of each and everyone. It is the moment of death, alone which lets us know the importance of belief. Death releases our self and takes away the spirit and body in the same way as it normally happens in our dreams.

In a dream, Spirit and Body remain apart and only our Self sees and feels everything. We hear without ears and see without eyes and when we die in a dream, our eyes open here, in this world.

The same thing happens when someone dies here; in this world, his or her eyes open in the eternal life and one can not come back to this life to let the others know about the process of death as a dream-awaken can not go back to the dream.

After death or suicide body becomes like a closed door which spiritless-self can not open to feel and see this world and self becomes world-less or body-less to be called dead.

Suicide is not an end of everything. It is simply the beginning of next life without a further chance to do a good or a bad deed. Death, in fact, is an end of this life and beginning of the next life, which will be the result of the deeds, done here. One must know this very fact comprehensively.

Nothing will go along, with the dead but his good or bad deeds for Judgement. This life is a way to the next life. It is not our destination. Since, the believers know this thing through faith, so they are not scared of death. Instead they are scared of the anger of their Lord and do good deeds. The believers are brave due to their belief and the non-believers are coward due to the lack of knowledge and belief.

Only such people, who do not know the reality of this life, try to commit suicide and think that this will be an end of their sickness. Whereas, suicide is not an end of any sickness but it is the beginning of doom. Whosoever kills himself, he walks out of the test and such a person is declared failed and doomed to Hell.

Reality of the law, on which nature survives, is revealed in our nature. Even the most beautiful thing which we achieve, start boring us by the passage of time and what is to say about the boring things. Our life is not meant to waste in the pursuits of worldly things but it is an open test and is a preparation plan of the eternal life. One will sow here and will cut there in the next life.

At last, God shows mercy to mankind and says in revelation that if someone will not believe in the gods, besides the Alone Lord, the Lord will show mercy to such one and will forgive his or her sins.

“Lo! Allah (The Alone Lord) forgives not that a partner should be ascribed unto Allah. Allah forgives (all) save that to whom Allah will. Whose ascribes partners to Allah (The Alone Lord), has wandered far astray”.
(Quran 4:116)

This promise takes our attention to these words of Torah.
“I ___and I alone___ am God
No other god is real”.
(Bible, Duet 32:39)

Therefore, one should not believe in three or many gods, instead, one should believe in only One and Alone Unseen God. One should not consider this world or universe as a god as pantheists consider “Everything is god and god is every thing”.
Whereas, God has already clearly mentioned in Torah that nothing resembles to God. Please read this text carefully:

“Worship no god but Me. Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol (image) or worship it, because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation”.
(Bible, Exodus 20:3, 4, 5)

Therefore, one should simply believe in One Alone Lord and understand that nothing resembles to the Lord and Lord is the UNSEEN.

This faith will serve as a key to the heaven.

Answer 2

Correct, the body at this time is only a host for the spirit, the spirit goes to a place called spirit world, there depending on how one lived their life they will either go to Paradise or Prison. There they wait until Judgement day when their Body and Spirit is reunited in perfect form, never to be seperated again.

Answer 3

The human body hosts the human spirit, the two joined by God. The body can also host evil spirits or God's Holy Spirit.

If hosting or being oppressed by evil spirits, the human spirit will be influenced in numerous bad ways in order for it to deny God and then face eternal suffering & persecution by our adversary, satan. If hosting the Holy Spirit, the human spirit will be transformed into the true image of how it was created - God's own image - and then upon death of the body, taken up into heaven to dwell with God for eternity.

When any person talks it is a spirit that talks. If the person is not perfectly clean and only filled by the Holy Spirit, then many other spirits may influence what comes out of the person. Lies, deceit, hurt, hatred, bitterness, slander, unbelief in God, cursing, sickness, unforgiveness, rebellion, etc. comes from evil spirits opressing the person because the right they gave the spirits when they sinned. Truth, honesty, integrity, love, kindness, forgiveness, repentance, life, health, goodness, etc. comes from the Holy Spirit dwelling in the person because they invited God in.

Christians are not necessarily filled with the Holy Spirit and may be oppressed by evil spirits, meaning that Christians, unless set free by God, may also exhibit the same sinfulness as non-Christians. But there are some Christians filled by the Holy Spirit, cleased from evil, who live lives pleasing to God. This kind of freedom is available to all who believe and are doers of God's Word. But many Christians are only Christians in name and not in truth.

Answer 4

Yeah, you (a Spirit) Look Just like your Body. You got eyes, nose, teeth etc.

If you have been Recreated (you, a Spirit) you can go to Heaven.
If you have NOT been Recreated, you cannot handle the Power of GOD (Who is a Spirit) and cannot Enter into Heaven for Eternity.

Saved, Born-Again, Washed in the Blood= Getting your Spirit Recreated.
Religion cannot Recreate you (a Spirit).

Answer 5

No. The body is a vehicle for the spirit. Take good care of it and your spirit can travel to many places and do many things. What happens after the body dies is all speculation. No one knows. So make the most of that vehicle and keep up with the scheduled maintenance.

Answer 6

The spirit of life we share with the lower form animals, neither being greater than the other. The soul is the blood, and dies with the body. If you have lived your life in keeping with God's Word, than you name and everything you were is written in the Book of Life.

When you get resurrected, either in the first or second resurrection, what you were is put into a new body, a spirit one if you were born again, or a human one on earth, if you are the "other sheep not of this fold" as stated by Christ. If you have not lived right, you still get resurrected in the second resurrection of Revelations, but to be informed of the judgment as regards your life, at which time than you cease to exist, even in the memories of those living.

Until the resurrection, you sleep in the grave, just as Christ did, unable to do anything. He couldn't even visit the fallen angels to deliver the final declaration of judgment on them, until he was resurrected. Now, if you believe you are greater than Christ, than may something else happens.

Answer 7

It depends on the definition of the spirit. Some philosophers think that the spirit is the same as mind, however religious people call it spirit while philosophers call it the mind. And "mind" is the gift or talent by which God has distinguished humans. And since "mind" is from God, in WHOSE MIND human spirits "minds" are merely ideas, these spirits "minds/ideas" will return to, though still exist in, God's mind after God has helped them to rid of their bodies.

Answer 8

Genesis 2:7
God created man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.

It does not say he was given a soul/spirit - it says he became one. 1 Corinthians 15 also makes clear that you - a soul - are mortal, perishable, and that you don't get immortality until Jesus comes back.

Ezekiel 9 makes clear that when you die, you know nothing. You're just dead. No spirit floating around waiting for whatever.

People are raised from the dead when Jesus comes back. See 1 Thessalonians 4

Answer 9

Don't think there are any spirits ever documented as living in human hosts. IF you are asking about your consciousness, or sense of self, it will cease to exist when your physical body stops working--your thoughts, imagination, desires, etc, are all in your brain as numerous electronic impulses or stored in brain cells as memory. Once the brain stops functioning, all of that is gone. Good example are people in later stages of dementia--part of what or who they were no longer exist as the brain atrophies and dies off, which is why they loose short term and eventually long term memory, then even the ability to talk or control bodily functions.

Answer 10

Yes the body is the host for the spirit but it is also (if you are a Christian) a temple for God, therefore should be treated as one. The soul goes to where ever God thinks you should go ...heaven or hell.

Answer 11

When the body dies... it returns to the ground...dust to dust... But the soul of man and the spirit of man have a different end. The souls that sins and remains in sin... dies. That's what the Bible says. But the soul that is cleansed of sin, goes to be with God. The spirit of a man is eternal... it will never die. If it lives in sin, it will live in hell for eternity.... separation from God forever. If it is righteous, it will live in heaven with God...forever.
